Scuba Knit Fabric for a Pet Product Brand in Spain
A Pet Product Brand approached us with a scuba knit fabric requirement for the Spain market. The brief was specific: a defined look, a hard launch date and a unit cost that had to survive freight and duty. This case study records what was specified, what went wrong in sampling and how the bulk order was delivered.
The challenge
- Elastic that lost recovery after three washes
- Shade drift between the approved lab dip and the bulk lot
- Reorders that quietly changed supplier and changed the hand feel
What we specified
| Item | Scuba Knit Fabric |
|---|---|
| Client type | A Pet Product Brand |
| Market | Spain |
| Order volume | 5,000 pieces across 2 specifications |
| Base material | Wood |
| Standard size | 360 gsm |
| Finish | Gunmetal Finish |
| Sampling rounds | 3 |
| Delivery window | 4 weeks from PO to ex-factory |
| Compliance | JIS L Standards |
How it was resolved
- We rebuilt the specification around Wood and locked the tolerance before bulk.
- The finish was moved to Chrome Plating after strike-off tests showed better durability.
- A pre-production sample was approved and retained as the golden reference.
- Production ran with in-line inspection and a mid-run photo report.
- Cartons were packed to the client's own barcode and ratio specification.
Result
- 5,000 pieces delivered inside the 4-week window.
- Unit cost held within 2.0% of the original quotation.
- Inspection-related rejection stayed under 2.0%.
- The specification is now on file, so reorders reproduce the approved sample.
What we would repeat
Keep one accountable owner on both sides. Most delays come from hand-offs, not from machines.
